Roli Lightpad Block M MIDI Controller

Make music on a smooth, illuminated surface that fits in the palm of your hand. Play beats. Shape melodies. Control sound just by touching the super-sensitive, surface of a next-generation MIDI controller. The free ROLI PLAY app helps you get started.

Play a song, all on one surface— On one dynamic surface you can play beats, basslines, chords, and melodies — and tie them all together to make amazingly multi-layered songs.

Every movement is musical— On the Lightpad Block’s tactile surface, you shape sounds and make music with Five Dimensions of Touch (5D Touch). Expression is right at your fingertips, so you can bring any musical idea to life. Strike to sound a note. Glide your fingers from side to side to bend the pitch, like on a string instrument. Slide up and down to modulate a sound, for example to add brightness or texture. Press to deepen sounds, like a saxophone player does through breath. Lift to change a sound’s resonance.

Explore a universe of sounds — it's growing all the time— Lightpad M pairs with desktop and mobile sound engines that include hundreds of high-resolution sounds ranging from strings to drums. They’re all custom-made for MIDI Polyphonic Expression (MPE) on the Lightpad Block’s unique surface. Explore soundpacks from sound designers and renowned artists like Pharrell, Grimes, and RZA.

Bundled with a suite of software for any music maker— Pick from a suite of music production programs that pair with your Lightpad Block. The Block’s package of high-powered software includes something for everyone — from mobile to desktop music makers, from casual musicians to pros.
